Adelaide (Australia): England captain Joe Root said he was broken on Monday to lose another ash test but would take the confidence of the way his side fought to take the daytime clashes in the last session.
The visitors, pioneered by the 26 of 207 balls from Jos Buttler, struggled through two sessions on the fifth day after continuing at 82 to win 468 to win.
They finally surrendered to all out for 192, crashing into a degrading defeat at the back of the nine-goal losses in the first test in Brisbane.
But the root says he looks enough in the back action to believe British can reverse the slide down them in the third test in Melbourne, which starts on Sunday.
“We must believe, we need to learn and learn quickly.
We can’t make the same mistakes we have done,” he said.
“But I really believe that if we have the same attitude with us about things today, I’m sure we have what it takes to win a test match here.” But we will not leave if we keep the opportunity and Don.
This gives us the opportunity to enter a test match with bats.
“England suffered fainting collapsed which cost them in Brisbane and Adelaide, something recognized by the root.” We have to find a way to build a big partnership, get it on, and it is something we have to do very well in Melbourne.
“But many days have given me a lot of trust moving forward.” After losing the lottery, the root side saw Australia building a winning position with the first 573 innings for nine stated.
Root said the part of the problem is that the bowler, led by veteran Jimmy Anderson and Chris Broad, not about the right spots, the problem he wants to see is repaired by the next test.
“If you see the first innings in particular I think we are just a little short with the ball, we are not quite challenging them, we let them go and they do it very well,” he said.
“We need to be variables, get the ball there – as soon as we do it in the second half, we create opportunities, we look dangerous.” England went to the match with a multipurpose attack after dropping Scinner Jack Leach, even though the offer of Adelaide’s pitch turned and got up.
Root refused to admit England chose the wrong team, but said the lesson was studied.
“It’s easy to see choices and tactics, but we will discuss those who approach the next match,” he said.
